Setting out on a new adventure in the Netherlands is an exciting prospect. The land of windmills, tulips, and bicycles welcomes you with open arms, but before you can settle into your cosy new home, there’s a checklist that needs tackling. Klippa Relocation is here to help you navigate the complex process of setting up your utility accounts.
Electricity and Gas
Most rental properties have an already-connected electricity and gas supply, so you won’t be left in the dark (or cold!). First, check with your landlord or your tenancy agreement for all the necessary details. Next, you’ll need to choose an electricity and gas provider. Some of the popular companies include Eneco, Essent, and Vattenfall. There are various rates and packages available, which can be confusing, so take your time to find the best deal that suits your needs.
If you want to make it easier to set up electricity and gas accounts, see below how Klippa can help.
Water
Check your tenancy agreement to find out if water supply is included in your rent or if you need to set up a separate payment. Setting up water in the Netherlands is quite simple because you cannot choose your water supplier. You just need to register with your local provider. To find out who your supplier is, visit Vewin.nl.
Water charges are typically quite reasonable, but you might notice the water pressure to be slightly lower than what you’ve experienced in other countries. You’ll be pleased to know that tap water is safe for drinking across the Netherlands, and it should be readily available in your rental accommodation.
Klippa can make it easier to set up your water account; see how below.
Internet and TV
Is the rental property advertised as having internet and TV connections? It’s important to clarify what’s actually included in the rent, so make sure you check the details. Tenants are usually responsible for contacting providers and arranging installation if they want cable TV or a specific internet package with a certain speed or data cap. Common options include Ziggo, KPN, or Budget Home among others. There are numerous options available, so you will be able to find a package that meets your needs and budget.
